1. Brings a smile to your face because you know summer is right around the corner.

2. Brings joy to your heart when you hear all the kids playing outside and laughing.

3. Brings a new promise to start working out (going for walks) because it's nice out.

4. Brings tears to your eyes because you will now have to deal with MUD. (Especially when you move into a brand new house and there is no grass. There is only mud. I have to keep telling my children to stay out of the yard. Go play in the street.)

5. Beckons the creepy crawly things to come out of their hiding places. (Just had a BIG spider crawl across the carpet in front of me! Yuck! I hate spiders and bugs! And my boys weren't here to rescue me. I always call for them when I see one. But you'll be happy to know I took care of it myself. After all, I am a big girl!)

6. Flowers will soon be peeking out. (My house in Madison had at least 60 tulips pop up every spring. I'm going to miss that! Although, I never got to enjoy them very long because the bunnies obviously liked them, too. I really like tulips!)

7. Birds start singing. I like to listen to the birds sing. (Unless it's right outside my bedroom window at 6:30 on a Sunday morning when I'm supposed to be sleeping in. And I went to bed an hour later than usual. If I only had a gun..........hey, you didn't really think I'd shoot it, did you? I'm against violence! Next time I'll just try to scare it to death!)

I figured everyone would love that, me telling my kids to play in the street. Don't tell CPS!!

Tracy - Yes, I lived in Madison for almost 4 years. We just moved back to Watertown in January. (We lived in the Williamson Development next to the new school.) My kids also played in the street there but it was a dead end street so it wasn't very busy and there were always kids running around from house to house.

Oh my gosh! That is hilarious! Yes, we lived on West Ave - the only white house in the whole development! (I was looking forward to kicking the kids out the back door to go to school but never got the chance being we moved away the month it opened up to my kids.) We moved there in Feb '03! Small world! I wish we would have met!

About Me

I'm a very busy mother and wife. I try to live life to the fullest each and every day. If I do not succeed today, well, there's always tomorrow. For what our family lacks in excitement, I try to add humor so you'll actually enjoy reading my blog. I apologize if I do not succeed at this.
